Superbowl!

 We met Uncle Cody, Aunt Shelle and the cousins for lunch after church on Sunday.

We had to take a picture of the cute dress Aunt Shelle bought for Madi.

 Tripp was challenging us all with this word game.  It cracked me up!

 It was so beautiful outside that we met at a park to play while Tripp had basketball practice.

   Then we loaded up and headed to the Henley's house for our Sunday School Superbowl party.  The kids had a blast playing outside while we enjoying visiting and eating yummy fajitas.  No one wanted to leave!

 Monday - GV wanted to get in on the fun too!

Thankful for a healthy week! 

Stomach Bug

 Last Sunday evening, we met the Kings for dinner at BJs.  It was long overdue for sure!

The girls enjoyed a cookie and ice cream dessert before we left.

 Monday morning we had to send a text to our sweet Ethan for his 11th birthday!

 Ready for school Monday morning!

 Tuesday!

 The first morning of February Madi woke up to a heart with a message of what we love about her on her bedroom door.  This message was from her Daddy about he loves how she loves to cuddle with him.

 Wednesday

 A friend sent this to me of our sweet girls enjoying lunch time!

Thursday 

 Our house is getting a new paint job!  They're about half way done. 

 Unfortunately, Thursday evening Madi started saying her stomach hurt and then we soon could tell she had the dreaded stomach bug. 

So Friday morning she saw her new heart message and then spent the rest of the day in bed.  She was sad to miss a birthday party that evening and her friend Devyn was supposed to spend the night but we made plans for next weekend instead.

 Thankfully, the bug was short lived but there was still a lot of cuddling going on all day Friday.

 The puppies definitely don't mind more cuddling and lazy days on the couch!

Hopefully, it's behind us and we can enjoy our weekend.

Mother/Daughter Pajama Party

 Friday night was the Mother/Daughter Pajama Party at our church.

 They have it every year on the last Friday of January and it's always a special time. 

 Even though I was a little under the weather I still enjoyed the evening with my girl.

 

 While their paintings dried, we listened to a wonderful worship time about Matthew 5:16.

 Finished product!

 We put the condensed verse on it once we were home that evening.  It's ready to go on her wall!

 Saturday morning, Madi helped Daddy cut down a tree and saw it into logs so it would fit in the dumpster.  

 She's not just a pretty face! :)

 Then we headed to see A Dog's Purpose at Alamo Drafthouse.  Popcorn for lunch, why not?

  Then we went to the Tech tennis tournament to support Devyn's dad who is the head Men's Tennis coach at Tech.  Madi spent the rest of the afternoon at Devyn's house playing.

 I was still feeling a little under the weather so this is how I spent my Saturday night right next to our heater on the porch.

 We signed up to bring donuts for our Sunday School class's social so we had to enjoy one on the way to church! 

 Aunt Shelle bought this dress for Madi so we wanted to be sure and get a picture of it to show her how thankful we are to her!

Matt's golfing this afternoon while I get our house in order for another fun week!  Thankfully I'm in town this week though.

In Orlando

 I left Sunday afternoon for an inspection in Orlando at the University of Central Florida. 

I left cute little Valentine gifts for the days I was away. 

 Monday was pajama day at Madi's school as well as her dentist appointment.  She said they asked her about her clothes!

 Tuesday was Cowgirl day.

 We try to Facetime every morning I'm away while they're eating breakfast.  Here she was trying to offer me a piece of our favorite pear.  Go try a Comice pear if you haven't already. 

 Wednesday

 I love inspections but I do hate being away from home so long.  Teachlive demonstrations like these make it a little more enjoyable.  UCF created this system and is conducting research on it.  I can see it going far in teacher prep.

 I came back Thursday night and they forgot a picture that morning.

Friday

I went into the office for a little while on Friday to get a few things done so I could enjoy my weekend.

Busy, Busy Weekend!

 Friday night we dropped the kids off at Kids Night Out at church then went to Trapped! and dinner with the Foleys.  It was such a fun night!

 Saturday morning, Madison, Devyn and her brother Jaxon went to a Yoda painting class.

 I went and did some shopping for my upcoming inspection but they weren't quite done when I returned to pick them up.

 Finished products!

 We met the cousins for lunch then ran to an ice cream shop for one of my friend's surprise baby shower.  Then Maci asked if she could come home to play with us. 

 Saturday night we met my cousins for January/February birthday celebrations at 50th Street.

 The kids love the games and we love visiting with each other!

 My hot date!

 The girl table - Madison, Maci, Kiran & Elora (my cousin Klay's twin girls).

 Sunday after church, Madi opened her Alexa. 

She's been wanting one for quite a while now to ask the weather, set as her alarm and much more!
